Thoughts from a United Methodist Clergy Couple in Southeast Kansas
From the monthly archives:
It’s a bit of hubris, but I thought someone might be interested in my reading list for our vacation. Because it’s vacation, I’m avoiding any heavy theological reading. I brought along Godric and On the Road with the Arch-Angel by Frederick Buechner, both are fiction. And a book of sermons by Barbara Brown Taylor for devotional reading. The Bible is on both my computer and my palm pilot.

Want to know more about the role played by Bishops in the United Methodist Church? Introduction to the Council of Bishops is an excellent place to start. This is new (or at least new to me). You can also look at the rest of their website here.

I recently posted a copy of the list of Church Officers for 2006,
formally known as the “Committee on Lay Leadership Report,” to our
website. It can be found on the “download” page.

We’re happy to announce that next Sunday, while we’re gone, Mike Mason will be preaching. The following Sunday, Jenny and I will be back, but we’ll have a guest preacher, Rev. Leroy Foreman. Rev. Foreman is the father of Brian Foreman.

Just a reminder that because Jenny, Elizabeth and I are on vacation there will be no Wednesday Gathering this week or next week. We’ll resume September 6 at 7:15 pm (Please note the new time).

The two rooms that contitute the nursery and the bathroom between them have been painted. Stop by to take a look. If you like what you see, be sure and tell April Foreman, she picked out the colors.

Two days ago, the trustees approved upgrades to the nursery and the toddler’s room adjacent to it. One of the upgrades, painting, got underway today.
